In the three years since Nico Lahs debuted on Ovum Recordings with his Clouded Visions EP, he has continued to display a talent for creating deep soundscapes, in releases on Poker Flat Recordings, 8bit Records, and Last Night on Earth. In his return to Ovum, Nico appears matured, but with a special rawness persisting. The A-side, "Tension," is great journey track that makes you want to close your eyes and get lost in the groove. On the B-side, Nico delivers "Absence," a track in his classic style that twists and turns, taking the listener on a beautiful ride.
